Guild Wars 2

+10000^99999 for an official Linux client!!!

I mean, c’mon! Read this:

Bringing Guild Wars 2 to the Mac is huge for us, because it introduces the game to an entire group of players who are often ignored by game developers.

That statement they made is best suited for Linux, never Mac. Linux gamers are an entire group who are often ignored by game developers. It was never Mac, they get plenty of love from select game developers. But Linux? No.

That statement should have been like this:

Bringing Guild Wars 2 to Linux is huge for us, because it introduces the game to an entire group of players who are often ignored by game developers.

^ Now that’s more accurate.

With each new patch, playing GW2 on GNU/Linux is getting harder and painful.

Please, join the other game development companies in supporting Linux! For sure you’ll get new players. Linux gamers are very supportive of gamedevs who supports Linux.

I wonder if there will be a Tengu race one day?
That would be really great!

There is a tengu race :p Okay, kidding aside, no doubt we will be able to play as a tengu in some expansion in the future.

1. Tengu race is one the most requested playable race since Guild Wars
2. Locking an area out from access but letting us know officially in-game about who’s behind it – usually a group or a race – is in itself a sign that it will be playable. Almost every game (offline and online) are like that. Only few games bother to drop a lot of those group or race for us to see, then later they let us play as one of them. Most hide them somewhere, make their capital city inaccessible, and just let us encounter a couple for lore’s sake. Tengu falls in that setup.

However, don’t get your hopes up. They may not even give us a playable tengu at all. They can easily say that the reason we can’t enter the new nation of the tengus is because they’re not yet ready for us to know the story. As simple of an excuse as that.

I for one want a tengu playable race, I love them since GW:Prophecies. For me, they’re as important as the other races of tyria, heck, much more important than the sylvari!!

Chessrook.8643:

Also, if you played Guild Wars Prophecies, you may have seen a large floating “Wizard’s Tower”. When players asked if we would learn anything about it, he responded with two words: Tengu City. That tower, I think, is located a bit south and west of the area you link.

So yes, that area might be part of the Tengu lands.

Huh, eh, what? I don’t remember the Wizard’s Tower being referred to as “Tengu City”. Also in GW2, the Wizard’s Tower has moved from its original place in GW1.

The tengu race created the Dominion of the Winds much later than GW1, especially after the Canthan tengus were kicked out by the Dragon Empire. All tengus on the planet came together and decided to go isolationists, especially because of the Elder Dragons.

Obviously, as we were told in-game, they’re having ED problems within their walled garden. And some tengus are pushing for opening their doors before their whole race gets wiped out because of their selfishness, paranoia, untrusting of other races, and isolationist attitude.

Besides, they’re one of the old races on the planet. They can contribute a lot in the efforts against the ED. Either they die alone and make themselves extinct, or trust the world again and unite with the rest.

No thanks…

this is a pvp game for the most part.
and it’s instances dont require the slightest of tactics compared to other games.
here everyone is responsible for himself lol.

so, i dont think u’ve made a great choice if what u like is dungeons.
much better games for raiding out there. u know which one i mean.

pvp needs roles.
people need to be able to spec as tanks or controllers or support.
or else there isnt much strategy and tactics needed
appart from organised movement tactics.

WvW with everyone playing as ranged dps (that’s how it is atm) is just stupid.

i get it that you dont want to spend an hour looking for a tank,
but everyone doing the same things dps/buff/debuff/control/support
makes the game bland and boring as a whole.

You haven’t played MMOs before the Holy Trinity generation if you think there is no strategy and tactics without roles.

That’s like saying: Hey Legolas, do DPS, I’ll tank!

Or Joan-of-Arc saying: Medics with me! We’re assaulting the castle now! Concentrate on healing us! Archers keep DPS, but dont aggro them!"

Nope, roles =/= strategy and tactics. You go back-to-back with your comrades and move in tandem with each other. You know or can predict/expect the next move or moves of your comrades and adapt and adjust based on it.

If you see them down, you think and find a way to survive while thinking of a way to revive them. You don’t just keep doing DPS or tanking or whatever, waiting for a media/healer to come over and revive them.

If your comrade is down, you cover for him. You do the “tanking”, you do the “DPS”. You think. You make decisions. That’s what GW2 is. That’s how games were played before the roles/Holy Trinity was implemented, we use our brains.

Yes you are weaker than the actual level because of the gear you are wearing.

This was pointed-out by another player in another thread, right now, no one knows if this was intentional or a bug.

So here’s what happens when we are scaled down:

• Level 80 character wearing 3 level 40 items
• Level 80 character went to level 40 zone and got scaled down to level 40
• Item stats and character stats also gets scaled down to level 40 equivalent by percentage

Meaning, your 3 level 40 items were scaled down to level 40 by percentage. Assuming that it is -50% (level 80 character on a level 40 zone – that’s half your level), then your level 40 items gets scaled down to -50%. Your 3 level 40 items end up being level 20 items = you’re weaker than a real level 40 character wearing a level 40 gear.

The above explanation is the simplest one. Someone made a thread above it, tested it, and confirmed his observations. No official statement from ANet about it yet, if it was intentional or a bug.

I hope it’s a bug, because like hello, a level 40 item shouldn’t get scaled down when you’re in a level 40 zone. They’re the same level!

It would be appropriate if the +1 button colour is reversed. Gray if we have not +1 it yet. Then it turns to red when we +1 it.

Thank you.

I remember them saying that they have further plans with the UI. So I guess keep it going, I’m sure they’re reading this thread.

To add: I also like the ability to re-position my UI just like how it was in GW1. And that too, the ability to choose which data to show (those numbers), I for one only want to see my crits. It will also make the client lighter on our mediocre systems

Well, forum quoting is borked… so…

@Sirius.4510 Hmm… but the lore I was talking about that I remember was revealed in GW:Factions not EotN. Anyway, maybe I mixed it with something else, but it couldn’t be asura because that’s EotN lore. Yep, probably it was something else.

@Larkir.6502: Nope, the tengu were from the continent of Tyria and spread out from there into different clans, which in GW2 was also touched again re: Dominion of the Winds – wherein the reason it was built was because the ED started to rise. Some tengu leaders saw it as a sign that it is time to go home. They went back to tyria and built the DotW and closed themselves up. Except for one known clan of tengu that chose to stay in the forest.

I remember reading a lore discussion about the continent of Tyria elsewhere, also based from revelations in-game of GW2, that Tyria before the humans dominated it, was mainly dominated by the tengu among other races like the jotun. The humans got stronger, were given favour by the six gods, and expanded.

And because of the ED and the expulsion from Cantha to an extent, they decided to go back home – to Tyria, especially since the humans have waned.

If their home is Cantha and not Tyria, they wouldn’t force their way against the blockade of Zhaitan in the seas just to build DotW in a place that is center to the ED “invasion”.

Tried this and got 18 hours and 31 minutes over the last 1 day! But I’ve been playing for more then 1 day. All the same it looks impressive and I am still alive.

It only counts when your character is logged-in not when you, the person, actually plays.

So for example, if it took you 30 days to get to level 80, your /age will probably just show 72 hours, because that’s the total amount of hours your character was logged-in to get to 80, not you, the player, taking 30 days.

;)

Oh, repeat the Tybalt voice acting and script, and improve it further. That should do it. Because in all honesty, so far, Tybalt is the best NPC and cutscenes and script and voice acting I’ve seen in GW2.

^_^

And Trahearne! He’s the most “dead” NPC I’ve ever seen. Even more dead than the undead. He doesn’t excite me when his dialogue obviously tells me I should be riled up “RAISE YOUR BANNERS! FIGHT FOR YOUR FREEDOM!!” type.

:)
